§ 4Steps

$ config-weave init ./my-playbook
created ./my-playbook (playbook.wcl, pkgs/core/…)

Run config-weave init ./my-playbook. It writes a skeleton playbook with an example package, resource and gatherer — a working starting point.

$ config-weave validate ./my-playbook
ok

Run config-weave validate ./my-playbook. Nothing executes; fix any reported syntax, schema, ref, DAG or script-compilation error before moving on.

$ config-weave list ./my-playbook
baseline

Run config-weave list ./my-playbook to see the plays you can check or apply.
